Don't they have a lifetime warranty? Can't you get a replacement for free? I remember blowing one of my illuminas got them to send me another. I've heard also of people getting their whole set replaces for them being "worn".

i couldn't see a strut being waranteed for life or free replacement. that is like saying my 4 tires will be replaced for free when they wear out. It is a wear item and will eventually wear out.
tokiko illumina's
kyb agx
koni yellow's
are all good struts.
are you an agressive driver or are you just going for the look. If you do hard cornering and want a responsive feel spend the money and get the best koni yellows.
If you realize how much you are spending on springs/struts just go get yourself a set of teins coil-overs and a camber kit.

^ I would recommend the Tokico Illuminas. Many people love them.

^ I had the Blues on my CRX before. The ride was HARSH. I really hated. You could feel every bump on the road. It made me sick to my stomach.

Re: What kind of struts should i get (jaydeemmmm)
ok so i been doing some research and I was leaning towards buying some kyb agx's until I found that they are only adjustable on the front? is this true ? So tokico illuminas would be a better choice regarding they are adjustable all around. am i correct ?

No, I had the KYB AGX on my SI and they were adjustable all around. I loved them even on my 2.0" drop, but the warranty that comes with them says is you go past 1.5" drop, the warranty is void. With tokico illuminas, I put some on my friend's car, again all around adjustable, and I didn't see anything about a limit on ride height voiding the warranty that it comes with. The KYB are cheaper and they did hold up to my 2.0" drop with my SI but now with my GSR, I'm gonna get tokico illuminas with my 1.5 eibach proline springs, they seemed to put the tires down a little bit better. But both KYB and Tokico are good, it's all about personal preference. All the best to yah.
